Mr. Jerry Lynn Saylor, age 72, Bean Station, peacefully went home with Jesus Thursday morning, June 3, 2021 at his residence.
Mr. Saylor was from Boones Creek community and graduated from Boones Creek High School in 1967. He married the love of his life, Donna Nolen Saylor July 17, 1972. In their 35 years of marriage they lived in multiple states. Jerry lived life to the fullest with many occupations but Farm Management was his favorite.
